Tried Disqus, ended up turning it off

Update: Disqus made my site slow and was doing some strange things that I could not explain, so I turned it off. I’ve reverted to the old standard WordPress commenting system. Note some people have feared Disqus could hurt search engine optimization because it hides all your comments behind Javascript; jury’s still out on this, as far as I know.

Disqus makes it much easier to have threaded conversations, and it allows cool things like responding to a comment from within e-mail. Unfortunately it also means that some of you who’ve logged in before will have to log in again, but I’m thinking that should not prove fatally difficult.

Let me know if you have any issues and I’ll what I can do to address them. Everybody’s comments have to be imported into the Disqus system, which might take a few days, I’m told.
